Possible nighttime sighting brings about ongoing investigation of several Cassadaga incidents and legend of the "Mole Man"

Two companions were driving at night in a doorless vehicle when they made a wrong turn onto a dead-end road.

The driver then saw large eyes about six feet off the ground and a large brown shape behind the tree. Both were frightened and did not get a prolonged look.

7 July 2012 Atlantic Beach....in The City, Duval County, Florida Class B #35940

Possible early moming sighting from second story apartment in Atlantic Beach

Early in the morning the witness stepped onto a second-story apartment balcony and turned on the light. She immediately heard a loud primate-like scream followed by woo-woo calls, which set a neighbor's dog barking. After several minutes she noticed a tree rustling, heard low grunts and footsteps along a privacy fence, and watched a very wide, hunched, ape-like shadow lumber along the fence line before two figures reportedly moved off together into the dark.

Possible sighting and rock throwing on a farm east of Edinburg

Late in the evening the witness was sitting by an outdoor fire near a pasture when she noticed a head-and-shoulders outline above tall weeds to her side and heard a slight noise from that direction.

Daylight sighting by two turkey hunters in Gifford Point WMA, four miles south of Omaha

The witness and a relative were bow-hunting for turkey and had set decoys and a blind before stopping for lunch. The witness noticed a figure squatting at a trailhead across a field and alerted the relative. Both watched it stand, turn, and walk away into the woods down a slope toward the river, grabbing an overhead branch as it left. Afterwards they went to the spot and used the height of the grabbed branch to estimate the figure at about eight feet tall.
